Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone regulate many critical bodily functions. When our hormones fall out of balance, whether due to aging, stress, or other factors, we may experience unpleasant symptoms. Hormone therapy can help restore optimal hormonal balance.
The first step is diagnostic testing to pinpoint any deficiencies or excesses. Hormone tests like blood tests and saliva tests check levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA, and cortisol. Understanding your hormone levels empowers you to make informed decisions about treatment options.
Hormonal issues have many potential causes, including:
Catching and addressing hormonal imbalances early provides the best results. We recommend periodic testing starting around age 35-40.
